To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
First, their very numbers increased the population, which put pressure on existing resources such as game. Secondly, their economic activities required that vast areas 151 of tropical forest be burned for cattle pasture and more extensive agriculture. Furthermore, they fought over land, because it had become valuable in and of itself under the new regime of private property instated by federal government with the Transamazon Colonization Project. During these battles, the small-farmer colonists... often lost out to the more powerful ranchers and colonists, and became landless. These struggles created an atmosphere of lawlessness and a reality of violence that continued, especially for the poor, and which will be discussed later. Other factors, including disease, lack of transportation, problems with credit, lack of knowledge about farming in a tropical environment, and inadequate infrastructure also contributed to the demise of many colonists, who abandoned and/or sold their land and then flocked to urban areas.
